High school senior Kalin (Lennon) Macready knows several
facts for certain: John Lennon is his hero. Beaumont Finley Danforth II (Fin)
is his best friend. And—this is the complicated one—he feels more for Fin than
mere friendship.

For weeks, Lennon pesters Fin, who like Lennon admits to
questioning his sexual orientation, for a commitment to spend twenty-four hours
together exploring “the gay side of life.” Fin reluctantly agrees. Each boy
will seek to answer the daunting question, Am I gay? Lennon pre-plans the day,
filling the hours with what he assumes “gay life” is all about: shopping for
fashionable clothing, indulging in lavish dessert crepes, boogying to Taylor
Swift’s “Shake it Off”, and yes, listening to show tunes.

However, Lennon quickly realizes that in creating his plan
he has succumbed to the most common and distorted of gay stereotypes. Can he be
gay and not fit them? And more importantly, is it possible that spending one
very hard day and night together will help Fin accept that he’s gay, too? If
so, maybe Lennon has a shot at winning the heart of the boy of his dreams.

“A Hard Day’s Night” is an amusing young adult contemporary
romance about two boys who seek to discover if they must fulfill stereotypes to
be together.

In the end, maybe all you need is love.

Bio:

Mia
Kerick is the mother of four exceptional children—all named after saints—and
five nonpedigreed cats—all named after the next best thing to saints, Boston
Red Sox players. Her husband of twenty-two years has been told by many that he
has the patience of Job, but don’t ask Mia about that, as it is a sensitive
subject.

Mia
focuses her stories on the emotional growth of troubled young people and their
relationships, and she believes that physical intimacy has a place in a love
story, but not until it is firmly established as a love story. As a teen, Mia
filled spiral-bound notebooks with romantic tales of tortured heroes (most of
whom happened to strongly resemble lead vocalists of 1980s big-hair bands) and
stuffed them under her mattress for safekeeping. She is thankful to
Dreamspinner Press, Harmony Ink Press, CoolDudes Publishing, and CreateSpace
for providing her with alternate places to stash her stories.

Mia
is a social liberal and cheers for each and every victory made in the name of
human rights, especially marital equality. Now marital equality is the law of
the land!! WOOT!! Her only major regret: never having taken typing or computer
class in school, destining her to a life consumed with two-fingered pecking and
constant prayer to the Gods of Technology.
